Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 426 Empty——————————————————

That night, Dongming was trapped in the warm bedding, sleeping without dreams.

At the same time, the sun on the plateau shone straight down, roasting Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling pressed against the rough rock, motionless.

For more than three hours... more than three full hours, the lurker who watched the argali flock has been patiently ambush there.

So far, Jiang Ling has completely determined the goal of this person - before Jiang Ling only knew what he wanted, and there were four possibilities for his purpose; but now, the answer is only the last one.

Therefore, when there was a small black dot hovering over the peaks of the snow-capped mountains and gradually getting bigger, Jiang Ling began to move his hands and feet very slowly: centimeter by centimeter, joint by joint; with voluntary control, Rather than a large movement, to wake up the body.

That's a vulture.

Cangdiao.

In terms of the color of their feathers, this kind of raptor is not as bright and eye-catching as the golden eagles that Jiang Ling is familiar with, but their awe-inspiring demeanor, their sternness and might are better than the golden eagles—their feathers , is the color of the sky, is the color of the wind.They are the conquerors of the endless sky, and the warriors soaring in the wind.

……

The insects in the grass continued to sing, and the water in the riverbed continued to flow. Before I knew it, another half an hour passed.

The eagle was already hovering very low.

The leading ram looked up at the sky, stepped on the earth and rocks under its hooves anxiously, and raised its horns.However, it can't resist the predators in the air, and it is useless to escape, which is different from encountering snow leopards and the like.

So the ram didn't lead the flock and run for its life, it just called a few times.

The flock has long since become uneasy, and has no intention of grazing anymore.In the sound of the ram, they gradually gathered together.The ewes with their cubs are busy calling back their cubs and taking care of the lambs.

Because rams are tall and muscular, and possess a pair of heavy, large curved horns, these raptors would not normally target them.

Their favorite is this year's newborn lamb...

……

In the low-lying land near Jiang Ling, a ewe was lying in a lush grass nest and hadn't stood up.

Jiang Ling knew that it was giving birth to lambs.

And a pale yellow butterfly with big fingernails flapped its wings and fluttered lightly among the flock of sheep. Finally, it looked around a clump of grass leaves a few times and stopped on a flower spike in front of the ewe.

The sheep are so close together that within a few steps there are two lambs.One of the lambs, one or two weeks old, sniffed curiously.

The butterfly was frightened and flew up suddenly, blowing off a lot of phosphorous powder on its wings.

The lamb choked on a big sneeze.And this sneeze was a storm to the butterfly—it was blown headfirst, swung forward for more than one meter, and then rushed forward two or three meters crookedly before it stabilized and fled away in a hurry.

The lamb followed the butterfly and walked to the side of the flock of sheep; seeing the butterfly was flying fast, the lamb ran after it.

When the ewe noticed it, she quickly caught up with the lamb and drove it into the group.

Cang Diao began to dive.

When it swooped three-fifths of the way, a figure flew towards the direction of the lamb—at this moment, the Cang Diao couldn't change its direction.Because it's too fast.

Jiang Ling stared at the figure without moving; but Jiang Ling raised the corners of her lips coldly.

*********
Cang eagles jumped into the flock.

The lurker rushes to the lamb!
The Cang Diao grabbed the lamb that had just landed and hadn't stood still yet, and flew away into the air!

The visitor was stunned: He made a mistake about Cang Diao's target!
And the leading ram was already puffing, lowering its head and galloping straight towards him!

These highland argali sheep are not very good-tempered due to their large size... To put it bluntly, they are very bad!If their distant relatives, the duiker, would have run for their lives at this moment; but the upland argali don't—when predators that are as strong as them get too close to them, they will attack.

So the Snow Leopard and Cang Diao both succeeded in one blow and left immediately.

This probably has something to do with the natural environment in the "playground".After all, when adult animals can have the physical condition equivalent to the fourteenth or even fifteenth level of physical skill, whether they have sharp teeth or claws has little effect on the fight between them.Hooves and horns became weapons.Very good weapon.

Right now, the leading sheep was furious, and rushed with him were the other rams in the flock, and a few ewes who were severely frightened-they were very close.

Jiang Ling smiled "hehe".

The argali enjoys the aquatic plants under the snow-capped mountains, and is uniquely endowed with stronger strength than those animals in the jungle at ordinary altitudes.This sheep is comparable to the late fifteenth level or the peak; there are two older rams in the flock, both are fifteenth level—otherwise, the lurkers wouldn't have waited so long!He could kill a sheep and use the fresh flesh to trap the eagles.

Therefore, Jiang Ling doesn't need to do anything; it is naturally the best to be able to watch the show from the sidelines.

……

All of this, in fact, only two or three seconds.

It was only then that Jiang Ling heard a sharp neigh.

This is in the atmosphere, so fast objects will cause sound.However, the Cang Diao has adapted to the dive, and for some reason, the sound it makes is not loud; if judged by its speed, it can be said to be very small.

……

It took Jiang Ling a minute or two to run back to the grass where he put his things before.

The little snow leopard was still alive, but his spirit was even more wilted, and he was barely moving in his backpack.

Jiang Ling put on her backpack and rushed to the flock of sheep with the little snow leopard in her arms. On the way, Jiang Ling picked up a few pieces of finely divided dry sheep dung, kneaded it into powder, and wiped the little snow leopard from head to toe.

The little snow leopard was smoked, and sneezed a series of times, lying weakly in Jiang Ling's arms and humming.

The commotion among the flock was still ongoing, and it took Jiang Ling a while to finally get permission to approach them.Then Jiang Ling hurriedly selected a ewe that had lost its cubs for two or three days—the ewe who just lost the cubs had a bad temper, and after a long time, the milk was gone—then, Jiang Ling comforted the ewe for a while, let it lie down, Holding the little snow leopard and stuffing it under the belly of the ewe.

The ewe turned her head and sniffed the little snow leopard. She was somewhat puzzled, but she didn't avoid it, she just kept looking at the little guy.

The little snow leopard probably smelled the milk. It burrowed into the breast of the ewe, searched for a while among the wool, and suddenly grabbed it!Then he started drinking hard.

The ewe snorted comfortably, turned around, and took a rest by herself.

Jiang Ling stroked the little Snow Leopard's back to comfort it, and felt relieved—now, it's time to give it a name.After all, it takes a long time to be together...

"What should I call you? Dongming...not good. Mingming? Not good either. Dongdong? Forget it...blue eyes. How about blue eyes?"

Jiang Ling lifted the little snow leopard's tail, held its hind paws away, and took a closer look.

is public.

So Jiang Ling immediately discarded "Lanlan" because it sounded too similar to "Lanlan", which was reserved for Ye Ninglan.

"What should I call it... blue, sky, just call it Kongkong, how about it?"

——Why isn’t it called “Tian Tian”?

In fact, Jiang Ling herself felt that the name was not very good, but she only thought of this one for a while...

However, the little snow leopard was busy sucking milk, sucking hard on the breast and belly of the ewe, and its deflated belly quickly filled up, and quickly began to bulge, so it didn't have time to think about Jiang Ling's naming level.

Give me more face!
Jiang Ling was happy: "Hey, Kong Kong, eat more!"

It's a pity that as soon as the words were finished, Jiang Ling saw that the little snow leopard's belly was obviously blowing up, and felt that something was wrong, so she quickly pulled Kong Kong out from under the ewe's belly - if she was extremely hungry and overeat, it would collapse !
……

Empty and not broken.

It was just a little swollen, and it lay lazily in Jiang Ling's arms all afternoon, squinting its eyes and dozing off, hiccupping from time to time.

Jiang Ling was going up the mountain.In spring and summer, the winter snow on the plateau gradually turns into streams and flows down, and the green grass grows up against the altitude. The argali flocks are afraid of being cold, so they migrate with the water plants, and they also go to high places.

This is the best way to go both ways.

So Jiang Ling used the tender grass to please the sheep all the way, and used "White Mist" to compensate the grass whose leaves were gnawed by the sheep; of course, Jiang Ling gave extra favors to the nurse ewes, but Jiang Ling found out that this made Kong Kong quickly recover—— It was hungry for a few days before, and it was somewhat hurt.

Another consequence is that other lambs in the flock start to covet the empty milk.

But Xiao Kongkong knew nothing about it.Because from the next day, Jiang Ling washed it clean, and specially made a wooden milk bottle and a leather pacifier, milked the goat from the ewe, and then fed Kong Kong——Jiang Ling didn't ask for trouble.After all, when Kongkong grows up, one of its foods is sheep.Let it have a good impression of the sheep, it will be very bad for its physical and mental health.

……

In this way, day after day, the transition season of spring and summer passed quickly, and the hottest day of the year was gradually approaching.

The flocks, too, climbed steep mountain faces and leaped narrow cliffs to their summer habitat.
